Abstract
The capacity of any professional development effort to achieve durable change in teacher practice is affected by a host of design factors and their precise alignment with multiple delivery strategies.

Aligning evaluation data collected across three years of the Trek 211 Project, a PT32 project found effective in promoting durable change in teacher practice, with key design factors identified from a decade of PD research, a successful design structure is presented and implications for future professional development initiatives are discussed.
